Jagan Mohan Reddy has verbal about a variety of issues in his mobile tent, where he spends the night and said that he is ready to go with the BJP if the Prime Minister grants special category status to Andhra Pradesh.
He also described the much-hyped Amaravati project as a huge scam. “Chandrababu Naidu is tom-tomming about Amaravati all over the world. He is now fooling the global investors. You go and see for yourself. There is nothing in Amaravati even after four years. Nothing means anything. Naidu is not interested in building a dream city. It is a huge scam. It is a land grabbing scam,” he said.

Jagan said that Naidu lacked both vision and commitment to execute such a project. He said, “In neighbouring Karnataka, almost 70 years ago they built a magnificent edifice Vidhana Soudha (state Assembly building) in just four years. The construction was started in 1952 and the building was ready by 1956. There was no advanced technology and the resources were scarce. But they achieved it.”
“Naidu can’t say time is too less. After the bifurcation of AP, we are competing with Bengaluru in Karnataka, Chennai in Tamil Nadu and Hyderabad in Telangana. After education, our youth will go to these cities looking for jobs and wealth. We have nothing to offer them. At this rate, we need at least 50 years to build a top class city like Bengaluru. Under Naidu, it will never happen. Any dumb chief minister in Naidu’s place would have done a better job,” he said.
